Due to the speed limit sign, Weiwei arrived at the Gotam Police Station at a normal speed.
The Gotam Police Station is located in the old town, which is actually not far from the City Hall. Weiwei went there in a circle, mainly to experience the joy of riding a motorcycle.
This is the headquarters, which also manages local police departments such as South Hinckley County. Gotham has a population of over seven million, and there are more than two thousand staff members in the headquarters alone - of course, the new police officer Bella doesn't know this, and the mayor has to review their salary expenditures.
However, it seems that not all of these 2,000 people are paid by the City Hall. Weiwei always feels that there is some hidden message in this.
The police station building is of the same age as the town hall. If you look closely you can see traces of repairs on the walls. As a headquarters where some criminals are often temporarily detained, this building has suffered too many disasters.
Weiwei: ...
The troubled building seemed to foreshadow her troubled future.
After completing the registration formalities at the gate, she was led to meet Jim Gordon, the current chief of GCPD. Chief Gordon naturally had no time to talk to her and asked her to follow a guy named Joe Holm. Before she could work on her own, Joe was her supervisor and would help her get started as a police officer.
Qiao was a middle-aged man who looked a little sloppy at first glance, probably because he had not shaved cleanly. He was slightly shorter than Weiwei, and had a slightly frowned brow, seeming to be in a state of annoyance.
"Come with me, new guy." He grabbed a bag of dry cereal in one hand, poured the remaining half into his mouth, and crumpled up the garbage and stuffed it into his pocket.
It seems that this person is responsible for guiding newcomers. Why does he look unreliable?
"Let me first introduce you to the situation of our police station..."
As they walked, Qiao said, "There are three main departments in the police station. We are responsible for handling small cases. The homicide department focuses on theft, robbery and murder of ordinary people--"
Weiwei: "Are murder cases also common?"
Qiao glanced at her and said, "I looked at your file. You are not from Gotan, right? If you stay in Gotan for a long time, you will find that everything is very ordinary."
"Then there's the MCU," he continued. "They deal with some of the more unusual criminals, as well as psychotic serial killers, planned bombings, etc. The people who commit these crimes are either geniuses or psychopaths. Of course, the most annoying type is the psychopathic genius."
Weiwei touched her chin and said, "Then can I transfer to MCU?"
"It's better not to," Qiao shrugged. "There are very few people in the MCU who can retire on time. The MCU only accepts those who are capable or qualified... As for you?"
Qiao turned around and looked at her, but because of his height, he had to raise his head.
The words he was about to say seemed to be choked: "...You keep working hard."
"Marin, I'm bringing a newcomer here to take charge of the guns," Joe said as he headed towards the logistics department. "The new police officer is named Bella Bettivan."
With that, Weiwei equipped herself with her Glock 17, police ID, and received a walkie-talkie and a new cell phone.
Weiwei played with her new phone and asked, "Isn't there another department?"
Joe waved his hands: "SWAT, the special forces, you usually don't see them... No, not necessarily, after all, anything can happen to Brother Tan, but I don't know much about SWAT, they are very mysterious and directly responsible to the parliament."
He actually didn't report directly to the mayor. Weiwei had a blank expression on her face and gave a bad review.
"You can occasionally see Batman when he's on duty at night. He always appears at night. There's also Robin, but Batman has had several Robins. The little boys are all different. This one is the third one I've seen..."
Weiwei glanced at the data card that was being automatically completed and asked, "Where were the two of you before?"
Qiao smiled and said: "After all, little boys will not always be little boys."
"When you see Batman, you can take pictures but you can't go up to him to take pictures. Although Batman won't do anything to you... He will send the prisoners here. Generally speaking, the prisoners sent here are ordinary criminals who robbed and injured people. Those particularly vicious guys basically went to Arkham Asylum."
"We're here," Qiao pushed open the door, revealing a small shooting range. "Come and try your hand at shooting. If you're not good enough, I'll send you back."
[[Shooting] Learning, reading completed]
[[Close Combat] Learning, reading completed]
[Observation] Studying, reading completed]
[[Basic Detective Knowledge] Learning, reading completed]
Qiao: "…Although I wasn't very proficient at first, I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I think I learned well in school."
Of course, after the opponent made a battle teaching gesture, Vivi finished loading the new skill in a few seconds.
She looked at the empty tables around her and asked casually, "Is it a holiday today? Why are there only so many people here?"
"We take two days off a week, and we choose our own time," Qiao spread his hands, "but there are few people today because they are all in the hospital."
Weiwei: “?”
"Just a few days ago, we and the MCU were hunting down the killer crocodile hiding in the sewers. You may have heard of this nickname, a poor man who turned into a humanoid upright crocodile due to an experiment, but he did kill a lot of people... The injured were sent to the hospital, so if there is a mission, I have to take you, a newbie, with me."
Isn't that perfect? But...
"Why didn't the special forces go? Aren't they more professional and relevant?"
Qiao did not give a direct answer, but just said "Haha" with a cold face.
[You get a side mission: Special Forces SWAT]
[You have heard a lot about the "parliament", "parliament" and "parliament". It seems that they have never appeared, but they are secretly controlling Gotham. It is time to let the "parliament" know that you are the real ruler of Gotham. ]
[Perhaps you can find some helpful information by following "SWAT". Try to find out more about SWAT. ]
[Tip: Keep getting promoted, or join SWAT]
[Reward: 0~500,000 gold coins, 60 diamonds]
Well, no more questions.
Weiwei flipped through the panel and found that she didn't have to pay for the "SWAT" salary. Correspondingly, she couldn't transfer these people. Let her think about it. Qiao seemed to have mentioned how to get promoted -
Continue to handle cases and gain experience.
Weiwei: "So what cases do we have on hand right now?"
Qiao was silent for a moment, and said speechlessly: "You just arrived, how is it possible that you have——"
"Wait," he pulled out the vibrating intercom, "what happened... OK... but I'm bringing someone new?... OK!"
He took a deep breath and said, "Come with me, new guy. We have a case."
The one driving was Joe, and it looked like he didn't trust the newcomer's driving skills.
In the car, he quickly recounted the "case" -
"The person who reported the case is a teacher from Gotan College. Their students found a female corpse in the canteen sewer. Security guards have been sent to the scene. They are internally investigating whether the girl is a student of the school."
"The specific information will be sent to your phone in a while. I guess they wanted to suppress the news. After all, it might be a school scandal. Maybe all the information had been processed by the time we arrived. They always do this."
Vivi didn't choose to simply fire someone like Commissioner Gordon and then drag her position up to the position of "Commissioner" - although she could have done that - but if she had done that, Gotham would probably have been destroyed.
Just like she was reluctant to pay the monthly salary, Weiwei did not fire all the employees at once. She only kicked out those who were just slacking off and made small adjustments to the jobs of some people because anyone can do that kind of job, but a police officer's job is not something that can be done by just picking up a homeless person on the street.
For example, Joe, who looks very lazy in front of us, has the police skills that Weiwei has just learned in his personal attributes, and he is proficient in detection. This shows that although this guy is impatient, he is really a reliable senior.
[Joe Holm], a native of Gotam, has been with the GCPD for over eight years. He has handled many cases but has not been promoted, nor has he been transferred to the MCU. His ex-wife left him a six-year-old daughter. [Detective][Proficient], [Shooting][Experienced], and there is no other information on his data card.
Vivi decided to handle a few cases quickly and accumulate merits, so that it would not be strange to be promoted gradually. She had already thought about whose position she would replace when the time came - Chloe Andre, the deputy chief of the homicide department, was a red-named person and was hostile to the mayor "Anna Alec", so Vivi decided to take him over.
"By the way," Qiao seemed to have thought of something as the police car drove onto the Gotham Bridge, "Have you rented a house?"
Weiwei: “?”
"You are not from Gotan. The City Hall provides housing subsidies for civil servants, but only those with seniority can get them. I have my own house. If you need it, I can transfer this part of the subsidy to you. Anyway, it can only be used for renting a house." Qiao said with a "tsk". "If you had reported two months earlier, you might have been able to apply for housing allocation. But it's very difficult now, unless you have some connections with the higher-ups-"
Weiwei was shocked: Can I still get a house?
She quickly found out from the panel that the person in charge of this part was the logistics department of the city hall - logistics again - anyway, they were all old acquaintances, so Vivi directly entered the order and secured the housing quota for "Bella Betiven".
She showed Qiao the text message on her phone and declined his offer: "I've been assigned a house."
Qiao: “…”
How long have you been here? Has the logistics department changed?
他開始覺得自己帶的新人似乎有些邪門了。
喬覺得……自己得多關注關注這位新搭檔。
“啊，資料發過來了。”手機屏幕亮起時，遠處也能夠看到哥譚學院的大門了，她開始閱讀資料，并逐漸陷入沉默。
【死者照片】：照片上是一位棕發的女孩，躺在水泥地上，身上的衣物髒到看不出顏色，可以很明顯地看出，她的雙腳是赤裸着的。
【案發現場照片】：照片的角度是從上往下，女孩躺在了某個狹小的空間內，腹部一串金屬鑰匙正閃閃發光，似乎是排水口下方。顯然，這張照片拍攝完畢後，有人将屍體從排水口中搬了出來，接着在空地上拍攝了死者的照片。
【報案人信息】報案人提姆·德雷克，布魯斯·韋恩的第三任養子，目前負責韋恩企業的大部分工作，年紀輕輕的少總裁，怪不得哥譚學院的老師沒能制止這場報案。
【案發當時情況】
“第一發現人為三年級的懷德裏安，他的鑰匙掉進了排水口，為此學生們在不經員工準許的情況下自行拆開了排水口，然後發現了這具屍體，他們的第一反應是拍攝照片并上傳到了學校論壇。”
“論壇管理員第一時間删除了發帖，并試圖聯系發帖人，同一時間，提姆·德雷克報警，我方收到消息後選擇立刻出警。”
【你獲得支線任務：第一次查案】
【無論是作為警察還是作為市長，你都無法容忍城市內兇殺案的發生，給案子進行一個了結，這是你的第一份工作任務】
【獎勵：任意警員技能點 1】
薇薇：“……”
薇薇覺得非常離譜！
她認出來屍體是誰了，這就是她的屍體，即第二具被死亡射手幹掉的屍體，第一具還塞在市政廳市長辦公室的書櫃下方呢。
可是“死亡射手”已經被關進黑門監獄了啊！
當時的死射以為自己殺死的是“市長”，把他從監獄裏拎出來對峙也沒用啊——這破游戲從剛進來的時候就在出BUG！市長的升職偉業不會剛開始就卡住了吧！
“你怎麽了？”喬看到新人這麽沉默，想了想道，“第一次看到真正的屍體？這挺正常的，你以後得習慣這些，而且，想一想，每次經手兇殺案都能獲得高額補助，會不會心裏好受一點？”
新人似乎愣了一下，緩緩擡頭：“……高額補助？”
“你可以當成獎金，”他解釋道，“是由資助議會的財團提供的獎金，具體事項我也不清楚，但已經持續好多年了，反正有獎金不是好事嗎？”
【支線任務“特種部隊SWAT”進展中】
【獲得線索一：為什麽解決兇殺案會由議會撥出獎金？】
薇薇看向照片。
薇薇若有所思。
屈打成招一下死亡射手……也不是不可以？
當薇薇的心飄到黑門監獄時，某個人比她更快一步，此刻就在黑門監獄。
“我就知道你會來找我，”企鵝人繃着臉坐在椅子上，看着玻璃對面的男人，“蝙蝠俠。”
“我只是無法相信你會真正悔過，科波特，”蝙蝠俠并非從不在白天出現，只是人們很少在白天找到過他，他聲音低沉，“告訴我發生了什麽。”
“我只是輸了一場賭局而已，”企鵝人不是笨蛋，現在回想起來，從“C”的投資開始就是個陰謀，但C先生沒法直接操控他，顯然那個他沒特別在意的賭局是真正有效應的神秘側産物，他不懷好意地冷笑一聲，“就像你猜想的一樣，蝙蝠俠，有人在幕後操控我，我輸給了他，必須按照他的想法行動——”
蝙蝠俠貼近玻璃，審視着企鵝人：“他是誰？”
“我不知道，”企鵝人咬牙，“聽起來很滑稽吧？就是這樣，我輸掉了一切，但我根本不知道他是誰。他也根本沒有嘗試過阻止我去尋找他，蝙蝠俠，你以為他讓我自首，讓我在公衆面前演出那樣的把戲，就是想要拯救哥譚了嗎？”
他盯着蝙蝠俠的表情，意圖從中尋找到什麽情緒波動，可什麽都沒有。
企鵝人：“‘你根本不懂游戲’，這是那家夥的原話，那個人，‘C先生’，他不過是将一切都當成游戲，他甚至根本不制止我把關于他的信息透露出去……看樣子他現在玩得很開心。”
合金大門緩緩落下，蝙蝠俠離開了，企鵝人站起來，走出了探視房間——
他猜到了蝙蝠俠的反應，因為反派往往沒有軟肋，但蝙蝠俠的軟肋太過明顯，他要守護哥譚。
他必定是去調查“C先生”了，而企鵝人等着他們對上的那一天，一個将哥譚當成游戲場的家夥，和哥譚市的黑暗騎士，不知道會給哥譚帶來怎樣的破壞呢？
反正只要他們變成敵人，他的目的就達成了。
他的臉上揚起笑容，他向前再邁出了一步，“啪”，一把馬桶刷從天而降，有同樣穿着橙色囚服的家夥對他喊：“喂，企鵝，今天輪到你打掃衛生間了——”
“我說過……”企鵝人咬牙撿起馬桶刷，“不要叫我企鵝！！！”
在企鵝人辛勤勞動時，警車已經在哥譚學院內停下了。
喬比薇薇先一步下車，但卻沒動，只是叼着根沒點燃的煙凝望遠方：“哥譚的未來由我們創造，哥譚的……”
“喂，走了！”薇薇擡手招呼他，又指了指，“看，學校方來接我們了。”
喬沒有繼續讀下去，轉身跟上，半晌才說：“看樣子我不太懂現在的學校了。”
牆上刷标語就算了，為什麽标語的顏色是深紅色，不覺得和校園裏的景色不太搭嗎？
接待他們的教師說：“屍體我們送去了學校的生物實驗室，當然，沒有私自解剖，只是當時學生們已經将屍體從地下搬出來了，如果就那樣露天放着，影響不太好……”
喬露出不太贊成的表情：“在轉移的過程中可能會丢失線索。”
教師的表情有些奇怪：“實際上，屍體本身就有點奇怪了……具體情況看一眼就知道了。”
“發現異常的學生和報案的學生們都在實驗室隔壁的辦公室，你們可以在我陪同下聊一聊。”
喬冷淡道：“陪同？那麽希望您不要阻止我們查案。”
雖然薇薇知道兇手是誰，但她看着幾人的交鋒，覺得還挺有意思。
他們先推開實驗室的門，那教師看到室內的情況驚呼一聲：“德雷克先生，懷德裏安，等等……還有帕克，你們怎麽在這裏？”
咦？
薇薇用不同的身份見過提姆·德雷克，巧的是，她發現那個“帕克”就是之前為在市政廳後勤部打工了半天的男孩，還是不要錢那種，而唯一陌生的那個眼鏡男應該就是“懷德裏安”了，他戴着厚厚的黑框眼鏡，懷裏抱着索尼照相機，在教師驚呼時也沒什麽驚慌的模樣，而是捧起相機，對着一位老師兩位陌生警察拍了一張照。
“在照相時你們都不笑一笑嗎？”男孩聳聳肩膀，“不過這張照片不錯。”
喬上前一步按在他的相機上，瞪了這個不知輕重的男孩一眼：“删掉，辦案過程中不允許随便拍照。”
“請配合辦案好嗎，懷德裏安·斯考特先生？”教師深吸一口氣，“現在請問誰能回答我，分明讓你們在辦公室等待，為什麽現在出現在這裏？”
懷德滿不情願，一只手從他身側伸過來，幾下就删除了照片，是提姆·德雷克，他說：“懷德說他突然想起了別的信息，但需要再看一眼屍體才能記起。”
很明顯，這位唯恐天下不亂的案件發現者只是想要給屍體拍照而已，或許之後還會上傳到他的推特。
薇薇注意到，雖然照相機男孩看上去絲毫沒被影響，但在場的另外兩名學生還是比較正常的——體現在他們的情緒似乎有些低落，比如帕克，他就一直都沒說話。
喬指了指照相機男孩：“如果我們在結案之前發現有什麽信息洩露，就來找你這個小混蛋，懂嗎？”
懷德不滿道：“你們就沒想過這可能不是個案子嗎？”
“你在說什麽？”喬說，“你想說馬上屍體就會坐起來告訴我們這是愚人節玩笑嗎，男孩？”
“不，”插話的是提姆，“只是，我們提前檢查了一下屍體，發現它……似乎并不是屍體。”
“她不會流血，”作為提姆朋友出現在這裏的彼得·帕克使用的代稱詞是“她”，“她的身上有四枚子彈，嵌入體內，如果這是一個人類，那麽擊碎心髒的那一枚是致命傷，其餘三枚射入體內的時間較上一枚要晚，但她……并不是人類。”
“所以這只是個非常精致的假人而已，”懷德捧着照相機，“一場非常厲害的行為藝術！”
Peter, Peter Parker, felt very conflicted - he was sure he had seen the "corpse", or the living girl, who was the reference for making this dummy, but at that time he was Spider-Man, not an ordinary student Peter.
If I tell it, my identity might be exposed.
No one is really dead, right? It's not a real body in front of me, she won't even decay, but... what if there is a conspiracy against innocent people? A lifelike fake person, this is too disturbing.
Tim, Tim Drake, was thinking about how to provide information to the police. He had also seen the prototype of the "corpse", but at the time he was the vigilante Robin. If he said it out, his identity might be exposed.
In fact, it was only after he called the police that he discovered that the deceased was the girl he knew. He had thought she was a student at school.
If it really doesn't work, just investigate the results yourself. Tim sensed a terrifying conspiracy, and he would find the answer behind it like a qualified detective.
"No one has seen this child..." The teacher frowned, "We have checked the photos of the students in the school, but there is no such girl. Maybe she doesn't exist at all. After all, this is not a corpse. You can take it away and make sure it is not a corpse..."
"So there was no murder at the school—"
"Ah!" The tall female police officer suddenly snapped her fingers. "I remember now. I've seen her!"
"?"
Joe frowned and turned around. Tim and Peter looked up at the same time, and Wilder also looked over with interest.
Weiwei said, "I seem to have seen her before, in Crime Alley, but my impression of her is not clear..." She pretended to be thinking and continued to make up a story, "Just a quick glance? Maybe we should go to Crime Alley to take a look?"
By the way, she has never been to Crime Alley during the day because it is too dangerous for the "Mayor". This is a good opportunity to investigate the people in the East District who have always been opposed to the underground facility renovation project.
Gotan College.
In another building, Sheila was in class, looking at the "corpse" photo circulated by classmates in the group, and slowly typed a question mark.
